Fall crombie in Tweed
You can never go wrong with a full suit, but why not mix it up with separates. Or even with a crombie coat paired with odd trousers, for a smart look that has more personality than a full suit. The Thick as Thieves crombie is meant to be worn over a shirt, rather than over a suit. So it replaces your suit jacket as one's outerwear. This coat is made with a lightweight suiting tweed (called Tweed 5 in the fabric section), it is not a heavy cloth, but heavier than most of our suiting options. It is a midweight fabric, approx 12-13oz and is perfect for fall temps. This cloth is a complex plaid pattern that is bold yet seen from a short distance begins to appear less patterned. It is a cool grey palette with a subtle orange overcheck running throughout. The fabric is pattern matched wherever possible as shown in closeup pics. It is paired with a rust brown tweed trouser. The coat is a 4 button closure with hidden front fly. Angled pockets with ticket pocket, 2 buttons on sleeve, and a higher button stance with velvet half collar.
